Canadian City Delivers On 1000 Acts of Kindness Challenge

Even the police stepped up to the challenge issued by London, Ontario to perform 1000 acts of kindness as a community this October. The Challenge, started by LUSO’s Meredith Fraser, sprang as a response to a series of hate-motivated incidents that targeted community members in London during the fall of 2009. The first annual challenge, along with last year’s, logged a kindness explosion of 106,760 separate acts, with area schools contributing a huge part of that number. Community members can register at www.1000acts.ca and submit their acts of kindness. Such a great idea!
